Some quotes from article:

Quote
BRUSSELS — The authorities in Belgium have started a sweeping operation to detain and question five people including former and current members and employees of the European Parliament as part of an inquiry into suspected bribes by Qatar, officials in Brussels say.


Quote
The Belgian police said in a detailed statement on Friday that their raids in 16 locations — including private residences across the capital, Brussels — had yielded a suitcase with 600,000 euros in cash ($633,000). They also said they had seized computers and cellphones.


So, EU parliament shits on Qatar cuz human right issues and at the same time EU officials take bribes from Qatar to line their pockets ^_^

What a shit show, I guess this must be extremely painful for the woke "progressive" EU

Gonna follow this shit, it will be entertaining to see them bending over backwards to somehow minimize the impact of all this.

brussels is the largest corruption shithole in the world by far, the sheer size of this monster is just unreal

tens of thousands of useless bureaucrats on absurd wages + benefits burning money quicker than the sun burns hydrogen

there are hundreds if not more like that greek vice president, who got arrested

this whole human rights thing is obviously just a front, that bunch is for sale 24/7

100% Brussels is a gravy train of bureaucracy and corruption.
It is also true that Qatar has a poor record on human rights.

Way to heavily frame a post though.

I'm pointing out the obvious, are you having a hard time with that?

EU parliament has become a so called "progressive" bunch of nutters that do not tolerate any opposing viewpoint.

There is another one where he explains how they are foisting leftist propaganda and this guy just dismissed him and told him he is against Europe and intervening. Unfortunately these communist scum are everywhere they don't represent voters they represent their own projects and self interests while living taxpayers backs lol. Definition of parasites.

Par for the course. I would, however, caution that the arrested politician hasn't been particularly woke or outspoken. She was " Vice President for Innovation Strategy, ICT, Technology, Foresight, Businesses, ESG and CSR, UN, WTO, OECD and Middle East", which is essentially a shorthand for "bribe me!!"

From what I've read, it seems as if she was a career grifter, rather than an ideologue.

Article says there were 5 arrests.

And I guess you mention this person: (quote from article)

Quote
Ms. Kaili has been a prominent E.U. lawmaker since 2014, taking on high-profile causes including cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. Hours after the news of her detention became public, her party, Greece’s center-left PASOK, expelled her from its ranks; the centrist Socialists and Democrats group in the European Parliament suspended her.


S&D group are 100% woke "progressives", I'm not sure about PASOK but they're center-left so you can work that out ^^

They're def not happy with the situation:

Quote
We are appalled by the allegations of corruption in the European institutions,” said Jan Bernas, the parliamentary group’s spokesman. “The S&D Group has zero tolerance for corruption. We are the first to support a thorough investigation and full disclosure".


Funny that it comes as a surprise for them.

I guess we'll be hearing more of this in the near future.

The rightful investigation is ongoing and people involved will be exposed and eventually convicted.
This is not suprising since Qatar is farting money everywhere.

This make first page in my national "evil government controled" news... Weird hu ?
Unlike regimes like RUSSIA or IRAN (or some others countries) where the one accused of corruption are regime's opponents.

Anti-all to continue to self own.
